Annual Sports Day Fun

Tiger girl in a relay

Last weekend Tiger girl and Doggie boy participated in their school’s annual sports day. It was Tiger girl’s fist time participating and Doggy boy’s last year to participate as he leaves for elementary school next year.

As it was her first time participating in a relay the teachers were on hand to guide her through every step of the relay. R and I were cheering her on from the sidelines and she really enjoyed herself.

Tiger girl and her medal

Tiger girl’s group came in 2nd position and she was given a silver medal for her effort.

Doggie boy's event

Doggie boy had a more complicated relay to tackle as compared to the one Tiger girl had. He had to take a paper boat, run with it, blow it across a tray and then carry the paper boat over to the end basket and drop it in before running back again.

It was a great effort and he was really proud that his team came in first and they won a gold medal each.

Medals

It was great fun for both the kids and they came home with a medal each.

Ten Changes I want in our House

Dominique Parenting and Kids, Thoughts Monday Listicles, tuesday top ten

Messy House

I’m sure it is every mother’s dream to have a house that is (for the most part of the day) neat and tidy. However with 3 active kids in the house it is near to impossible for the house to look like a page out of a Home and Living magazine. Even for an hour the max!!

Here is a list of ten changes which I would like to see in our house.

The clothes getting cleared off the sofa after being folded and packed neatly into the drawers by the kids.
The kids clearing up after themselves always without my 101 reminders.
The pantry and fridge getting cleaned out on a regular basis.
Everything remain where I put them and not mysteriously go missing or appearing in different places.
Beds getting made each day after everyone wakes up.
Ants and other creepy crawlies disappear forever and don’t ever turn up again.
Everyone helping out in the de-cluttering of the house on a monthly basis.
Toys being put away and not left on the floor.
The boys being able to eat faster and stop stalling during meal times so we can get more things done after meals.
The kids going to bed ON TIME!!
